Beauty and Truth

I quoted Keats for years without a thought

Beauty is truth, truth beauty mantra-like each day

I thought and saw I had not thought a minute

About what each of these words had to say

+

How can truth and beauty be unified

Beauty and truth examined are so different

Beauty is peaceful but truth cuts like a knife

I see the answer must be heaven-sent

+

Truth one with beauty sees the end of things

Beauty can bathe the truth in light that’s infinite

This light can instantly transform all tragedy

Even soothe dying poets for a bit
